🔎Highlights
We present the 1st #chromosome-level #genome assembly of yellow pitaya (S. megalanthus) using #PacBio HiFiseq & #Hi-C scaffolding
1️⃣Yellow pitaya is an #autotetraploid (1.79 Gb, 27246 high-confidence #genes) likely derived from #diploid red #pitaya ancestors

Sometimes known as the green pine strawberry, Fragaria viridis, unusual in that most #strawberries are 7-chromosome #haploid, while this one is 14-chromosome #diploid. Close to #Muraka.
